Description
We present the results of our study of the Luminosity Function of 521 LAEs having a Lya luminosity down to 10^39 erg s−1 with redshift in the range (2.9, 6.7) based on deep observations of 17 clusters obtained with MUSE at the ESO/ VLT. Taking advantage of the magnification effect, this unique data allows us to set strong constraints on the contribution of the LAE population to cosmic reionization. We discuss the shape of the Luminosity Function up to the faintest limits and its evolution with redshift. The faint end of the Luminosity Function displays a steep slope, roughly in agreement with previous results obtained by de la Vieuville et al. (2019) using only four clusters.
